"What a refreshing book!Conversations is proof positive that at midlife and beyond we never have to see our ice cream cone as half melted. If we're willing to expand our horizons, explore new paths, and pursue our passions, the best is still yet to come." ~Richard J. Leider, Founder, The Inventure Group, author of Repacking Your Bags and Something to Live For, www.richardleider.com
"Conversations... will support you in thinking bigger about who you are and who you can be in this world." ~Michael Port, author of The New York Times bestseller, The Think Big Manifesto
"In the style of The Five People You Meet in Heaven (author Mitch Albom), Conversations from The Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop will grab you from the first page and compel you to dust off your dreams and look at your life in a new light. Structured around 8 acronym-based 'keys' (such as FAITH: Find Answers In The Heart), the chapters will guide you step-by-step through your journey of self-discovery with questions and activities/exercises. Practical and inspirational, this deceptively simple, quick read probes the depths of unrealized longings and promotes introspection and action with the potential for profound personal and professional impact. Highly recommended!" ~Susan Guarneri, National Certified Career Counselor, www.AssessmentGoddess.com

Denny Stockdale takes you on a discovery journey accompanied by the trio Randy, The Ice Cream Shop owner, Tag, The Acronym Guy and Bill, a consultant who rediscovers lost dreams and reconnects with his life's purpose alongside you. Denny's book is a testimony to the fact that meaningful conversations shared by perfect strangers can lead to profound insights.
